Its a hard movie to describe without spoiling it. Sorry.

However, The emotion of the movie is incredible, almost overwhelming at times. The mix of comedy at points to offset the serious parts was well done, to not make it too heavy. The format is great, and the fires scenes are very well done. The music is a little suspect at times, especially the end, however I suppose that it does fit the movie. The important characters are well developed, however a few of the supporting characters are mentioned once, and thats all.

If I were to rate it, I'd probably give it about an 8. Above average, worth seeing, but not groudbreaking.

Hope that helps. That is the longest review I've ever writtn about a movie.
